FAQ

What can be done when a losing party refuses to voluntarily surrender to a court decision?: Any judgment may be enforced following the endorsement by the court of an enforcement clause.

If the losing party refuses to comply with a court order voluntarily, the plaintiff may employ the assistance of a court enforcement officer – bailiff – who can carry out compulsory enforcement in such event. In monetary claims, enforcement is conducted by means of seizure and sale of property. As far as specific performance is concerned, enforcement proceedings are conducted by a court, which has various means of persuasion at its disposal, for example, fines.
